Just days after the shocking release of an iOS 12.4 jailbreak, Apple has rolled out an update for the mobile operating system which seems to patch the vulnerability. As was revealed last week, Apple appeared to have reopened a hole in its security with the release of iOS 12.4, allowing hackers to publicly release a jailbreak for the first time in quite a while. Google’s Project Zero team was the first to report the exploit to Apple.
It’s no surprise that Apple was quick to release an update patching the exploit, as malicious hackers could potentially use the vulnerability for something much more nefarious than a jailbreak. That said, if you didn’t download and install iOS 12.4 when it was available, you’re out of luck when it comes to this jailbreak.
